Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That is just more confusing actually, because I was looking at page 7 and seeing that there is a negative $300,000 there as well, so that is okay. I just can’t figure it out, but I am sure I will if I look at it long enough.

I’m good with that. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I, too, do not have 100 percent confidence that this could be the last of the money. I hope it is. I have never supported the bridge, but it’s proceeding, and I have never said so publicly either. I know that there is no impact upon, or very little impact, unless this goes into deeper cost than what we’re looking at here, to the people of Fort Resolution. It does impact the people of Lutselk’e by way of freight costs if the cost of freight, the totals coming across hauling freight and groceries which are ultimately flown into Lutselk’e. I feel that we’re in this now as...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Could the Minister tell me if there’s a good possibility that work could be done this summer, the summer of 2010? Thank you.

Does the Minister have a schedule to clean up all of the sites that were identified as contaminated sites in the community even if they are low risk? I think the community wants them cleaned up. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, an essential part of developing mini-hydro in Lutselk'e would likely be an all-season road to the site, which is about 20 kilometres. Can the Minister commit to working with the community in hopes of trying to get that all-season road started this summer? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, can the Minister provide me with a schedule of the work plan that he just spoke of? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, today I rise to talk about the mini-hydro project on the Snowdrift River near Lutselk'e. Mr. Speaker, this project has many positive implications. The completion of the mini-hydro project will have positive impacts for the cost of living for the Lutselk'e residents and will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

I know the government is taking the environmental impact very seriously and the people of Lutselk'e realize the economic benefits of paying less for power and other opportunities of the project such as short-term...

Yes.

I am not really clear whether or not we can split it from the response, but I assume that we can. Can one of these pieces, whether it be resource revenue sharing or devolution, be negotiated to completion without the other one being negotiated to a completion? Thank you.
